Argentina will begin automatically exchanging information on crypto-asset transactions by September 2029 under the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, joining 77 jurisdictions committed to implementing the framework.
Argentina has committed to implementing the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and will begin automatic information exchange on crypto transactions by September 2029, according to an update from the OECD on 14 September 2026.
The commitment strengthens the nation’s position within the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, which Argentina joined in 2009.
The Global Forum Chair, Gaël Perraud, stated that Argentina’s move represents progress toward widespread CARF adoption. The framework equips tax authorities with data on overseas crypto transactions, addressing a growing vulnerability in international taxation.
The rapid expansion of cryptocurrency markets has created new opportunities for tax evasion. Taxpayers holding digital assets abroad can more easily hide income and wealth from regulators. The OECD developed CARF with G20 members to close this gap by extending automatic information-sharing between tax authorities into the crypto sector. The G20 endorsed this framework and tasked the Global Forum with ensuring its rollout globally.
Argentina’s commitment brings the total number of jurisdictions pledging to adopt CARF to 77. These nations plan implementation timelines of 2027, 2028, or 2029. As a developing country and active CARF Group participant, Argentina contributed directly to implementation discussions.
The Global Forum Secretariat will track Argentina’s progress and provide technical support throughout the rollout process, which will continue through 2029.
